Summary

I am writing to respectfully request your support to move forward with a notice of intention to designate the property at 63 Old Forest Hill Road under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act.  Upon becoming aware of the real estate listing of this Heritage Register property, several concerned community members reached out to my office to demand that the architectural and contextual significance that originally formed the basis for the property being listed on the municipal heritage register as far back as December 10, 1975 is conserved.

 

The property is currently listed in the City's municipal heritage register, but heritage designation would provide protection – i.e. to ensure conservation and maintenance requirements—especially now that I understand that it is currently listed for sale.
